   Just changing my rear beam over and wondered how you take the hand brake cable off from the rear calipers?
   
   May be an obvious answer but had a search and cant find anything!

   take of the hand brake at blue arrow, then knock the bush out at the red arrow, then feed the cable through the hole.
